What should you consider when buying a helmet?

What should you consider when buying a helmet?

Correct answer

That it has sufficient air intake and exhaust holes for good ventilation.

When choosing a moped helmet, check suitability, size, a firm fit without looseness, fastening and ventilation. Among these options, good ventilation is the advisable feature; appearance alone is insufficient and a loose helmet is unsuitable. It must meet the applicable safety requirements. The first transitional provision of RD 518/2026 allows certified moped helmets to continue being used for one year from 1 October 2026; do not imply that this allowance has already ended.
